Pros
Great people in the trenches. Understanding managers at mid-level. Those who manage personnel are generally very supportive of their team members' career growth. Access to really great IPs through WB. Good benefits, decent salary. Good food nearby. Lake/woods walking trail across the street. Free on-site gym.
Cons
Two rounds of layoffs in the last year. I used to feel like Turbine was my home away from home, and now the company has no soul. Executives and directors are often playing weird catty political games, and none of the major department heads get along. Turbine has a very anti-collaborative culture at director/executive level. There is always a feeling of a power struggle going on. I have no confidence at all in the direction of the company. Exec shifts gears every year or so and it always feels like we're just chasing the hottest trend in the market...but too late to get a leg up. Total lack of desire from upper management to put out a quality product...they only care about profitability. Really bad morale after layoffs. Like, really bad. Everyone is paranoid that there will be more next year. Upper management speaks dismissively of older projects that defined Turbine for many years, which is pretty depressing. WB doesn't feel very supportive of new Turbine projects.
